I found this recipe on the back of a package for Mama Mary's fresh pizza crusts. (I lightened it by changing the cheeses from full fat to part-skim. When I typed it into my Mastercook, I see that the nutritional info calculated is pretty acceptable.)
This is a wonderfully tasty and simple recipe. I love the idea of a pizza that is high in fiber, high in calcium, and that has great flavor. I used 4 chipotles as suggested. I didn't add extra adobo, but the chipotles I used were covered with the adobo sauce. I can handle very spicy foods and this ratio of 4 chipotles to 1 cup of ricotta was too spicy for me. I ended up adding an extra cup of ricotta to tone it down. The leftover chipotle/cheese mixture will be a great spread for crackers or pita bread.

NOTES :
I have mentioned this before, but I will note it here as well. If you can find the Mama Mary's Pizza crust, give it a try. I like it better than boboli. It is actually found in the refreigerator case in my store. Not in the frozen foods section...it is actually over near the vegetable and cheese section of my grocery store...where they keep the hummus, fresh tortellini/pasta, bread dough, etc. I used 3 small rounds instead of one big crust.
